Fibromyalgia Support Group

You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.

I'm so sorry, Sweetie. I wish he wasn't such a jerk. He's just not worthy of you, so .....shoulders back, take a deep breath, look at yourself in the mirror and say: &quot;My son and I are going to be just fine.&quot;

What you are going to do now is go to the county office on Monday and apply for aid. You can get cash aid, Medi-caid and Food Stamps. If your doctor says you cannot work, for a period of 30 days or longer, they won't make you do a job search. Depending on how long your doctor says you will be disabled, they may want you to apply for SSI (thats the Social Security disablility money you get when you don't have enough work history to get SSDI)

Make sure to take your husbands Social Security Number with you. They will probably want to go after him for Child Support. He will be held responsible to repay the cash aid he has forced you to receive.

Yes, I realize he took his Social Security Card with him. There are other ways to get the number. You can look at copies of Income Tax returns, for example. You may have to dig a lot but you can probably find it somewhere in the house or garage.

Please don't read a patronizing tone into my words. That is NOT my intention at all. When I have been in situations similar to yours, I was overwhelmed and paralyzed by anxiety because I didn't know enough to throw myself into gear and get moving. I would have done so much better to act quickly and I want you to benefit from my experience.

I'm so sorry. I was left in the same predicament with four kids. But, you know, I was spending so much energy trying to save my marriage (to a jerk who was cheating and left me with an STD) that I didn't realize it was killing me. I went into remission with my FM for about 3 years after the jerk left and I haven't been THAT sick until I got sick this last year after Lyrica - about 12 years.

Perhaps you're better off. You will be ok because you will make it so. Maybe you can go back to school.

Don't wait do this first thing Monday!
Don't wait cause these things can make you sicker!

Well, I don't know all of your story, so disregard if I'm off base. Calling the police comes to mind, or getting a lawyer and nailing his ass. And I think it's OK for mom to reach out to children to ask for help.

(((HUGS))) It will be ok hun! Like another poster mentioned go to your county health dept and apply for food stamps, tanf (temporary assistance for needy families) also contact local organizations such as here we have catholic social services, salvation army, look in the phone book under the community pages it should list them there. they have food banks and will assist you with paying your utilities and such. Apply for SSD and SSI. Because you have no income you can qualify for both if they find you disabled. Call the child support enforcement agency and apply for child support this is usually at your local court house family court division. When one door closes God opens a window. Im so sorry your dealing with this but you are a strong woman who can make it through anything. Call your older sons explain what has happened. I am sure they care about MOM and will do what they can to help. Reach out to your church family. go to area churches if you dont have a church as most have food banks. and will help with utility and rent bills. Good luck we are here if you need us.

It may be hard to see it now....but he left so the RIGHT man can come your way! Give it time...no rebounds...this is YOU time now, and for your son. You will overcome this pain, and you will in the end be so much stronger. One day he will regret how he did you....I put money on it. Big hugs sweetheart. God will soothe your pain.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
